no we should not rub
we do not massage site after IM injection because it may cause underlying tissue damage
dorso gluteal
Yes, the Hamstring muscle is a common site for giving an IM injection to a canine. Be sure to watch of for the Sciatic nerve!
On the injection site? Sorry im confused.
deltoid
No, this would be a relatively uncommon site for an intramuscular injection in most animal species.
Vastus Lateralis, IM
Damage to the sciatic nerve
Ip means intraperitoneal- refers to a site of injection (into the body cavity- between the hip bone and midline. Other common sites of injection are sc (subcutaneous) and im (intramuscular).
If by injection types you are referring to IM, SQ, IV etc. the reason can be to prolong the action of the drug, decrease the possibility of an injection site reaction, or in some instances a systemic reaction or even anaphylactic shock.
The advantages of the deltoid intramuscular injection is that as said before is easy accessible and patients are generally a lot more comfortable with exposing their arms as opposed to another body area. Disadvantages to this site are the size of the muscle mass is small in relation to other IM injection sites.
